book deals with Implied suspensions of mail services, suspension of mail services
for British Commonwealth, US and countries worldwide and then unidentified markings.

Catalogue of Canadian Railway Cancellations and Related
Railway Postmarks including Selected Waterway Postmarks , 2009
by Ross D. Gray. ‘The Catalogue of Canadian Railway Cancellations and
Related Railway Postmarks including Selected Waterway Postmarks’, the
much anticipated successor to the 1982 Ludlow RPO catalogue, is now available.
At 336 pages, it is packed with almost 30 years’ worth of additions to
the database of Canadian RPO knowledge, including many new listings and new
dates. In his Preface to the book, W.G. (Bill) Robinson, OTB, Chairman of the
Canadian RPO Study Group, writes, “Lew Ludlow’s 1982 Catalogue of
Canadian Railway Cancellations and Related Transportation Postmarks has been
in use now for 27 years. Lack of space to insert new listings into the numbering
sequence meant that train runs were no longer grouped together in alphabetical
or chronological order. It was becoming increasingly difficult to insert new
listings in any logical order and equally difficult for users to find after
new listings were numbered.”
The major change is that all listings have been renumbered, with the old catalogue
number shown in the right hand column of the page. Because the old listings
were usually sequential, in many cases it is relatively easy to go down the
right column to the old number, then across to the new one. Among the many other
improvements are listings that have been reorganized chronologically within
each run to present a more historical perspective, Registered cancellations
now listed with the contemporary regular postmarks, and the Rarity Factor changed
from a numerical format to an alphabetical scheme. Separating listings with
headers identifying the run will make it easier to find a particular postmark
in the larger sections. The Steamer section has been removed because it is being
included in a volume being prepared by others.
RPO collectors and the dealers who help them find material will be very pleased
to see the new catalogue. They all owe a great deal of thanks to the members
of the RPO Study Group Committee who made this book happen this year, and especially
to Ross Gray who pulled together thousands of pieces of new information and
blended it all together into the work being released today - Spiral Bound, 336

Special Delivery - Canada's Postal Heritage
- 2000 by C. Amyot, B. Gendreau and J. Willis - Beautiful, well illustrated
coffee table book - For more than three hundred years, the history of our postal
service been closely linked with the development of Canada. Postal communications
have helped Canadians keep in touch from the days when letters were passed from
hand to hand by travellers, to the lightning fast electronic mail of today.
Special Delivery: Canada’s Postal Heritage is a lavishly illustrated hard
cover book with historic, artistic, architectural and philatelic content. The
history of the postal service is covered from the very beginnings through the
colonial era, Confederation, and the World Wars through to the computer era.
Archival photographs and illustrations accompany pictures of unique antiques
and artifacts from the collection of the Canadian Postal Museum including pens,
inkwells and furniture. For more than one hundred and fifty years, Canadian
postage stamps have illustrated the history, people and events important to
this country. The book covers about twenty stamps representative of our heritage.
The illustrations and stories of these diminutive works of art will appeal to
both the neophyte collector and the dedicated philatelist. Canada’s Postal
Service fuels the nation's economy and delivers hundreds of millions of communiqués
and contributes billions of dollars to the economy. Special Delivery shows the
history of how this mail is, and was, transported. Whether delivery was by foot,
sled, coach, boat, train, plane or modem, ingenuity and adaptability have been
the keys to overcoming Canada’s many diverse climatic and geographic obstacles.
Throughout our country the distinct architectural styles of our post office
buildings reflect our heritage. Whether located in a small general store or
an imposing granite edifice, the post office is a focal point for the community
it serves. Special Delivery examines the architecture, location and function
of the buildings that symbolize our postal heritage. From horseback and canoe
to courier and electronic services, the people who move our mail have relied
on the best available ways of delivering mail. But past or present, it is those
individuals that are the most important element of the postal service. For hundreds
of years our postmasters, letter carriers, sorters, drivers and other dedicated
employees have delivered not only letters, but medicine, fruit, dynamite, tools
and all manner of material vital to Canadians. Special Delivery: Canada’s
Postal Heritage is the first major illustrated history of our postal system.
It is one of those very few "must have" items this season for anyone
interested in Canadian heritage - hardcover 150 pg - $35.00

UNITED KINGDOM REVENUES by J. Barefoot - This is the 5th edition of the standard revenue book formerly
called "United Kingdom Revenues". The new title reflects the wide
scope of coverage, listing the adhesive revenues of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland, Ireland in the British period, and the Channel Islands. Apart from
the general purpose revenues (used on deeds, conveyances etc), about 100 special
purpose ("appropriated") revenue stamp categories exist, ranging from
Additional Medicine Duty to Winchester Courts. An introductory explanation is
given in each case to provide the background behind the tax. From the social
history point of view, revenue stamps provide a fascinating clue to how the
taxman found ingenious ways to deprive the rich of their wealth at different
stages of history. In the 18th century, cocoa, snuff, hats, dice, wigs, dogs
and footmen were all taxed (with adhesive or impressed revenues, although fortunately
for the last two "products", it was only the licence that had to bear
the stamp, not the actual animal or person). Regular adhesive revenues are listed
in full, illustrated in colour, and priced for fiscally used. Many price changes
since the previous edition.
This is a second printing (2012) of this 5th edition, due to high demand. 180
